So I guess it's all hopeless and we should all just die then. What's the use in doing anything if everything is a mild inconvenience? >The problem was created

So I guess it's all hopeless and we should all just die then. What's the use in doing anything if everything is a mild inconvenience? >The problem was created by "our grandfathers" saving a buck and now the government "must" fix it. No, the problem was created by the existing Flint/Michigan government, and yes, it's their problem to fix. This isn't some nebulous "it happened in the past and we're just getting the bill now". But you're right, it's completely impossible to replace water pipes. No one in the history of ever has ever replaced a water pipe.
